Answer:

y = 2/3x + 6

Explanation:

for this problem, we need to find the value of b (the y-intercept). to do so, all we have to do is plug in the x and y values of the given ordered pair into the x and y values of the function. this will give us:


4=(2)/(3)(-3)+b

solve for b and we get 6.

so, our slope-intercept equation is
y=(2)/(3)x +6 .

hope this helped, good luck!
